Calling someone a farmer (农民 nong2min2) or rural (村民 cun1min2) is already a pretty big insult, and probably carries more negative connotations than the English word "redneck". No one would say it would pride like they might call themselves 'redneck' back home. But a specific word would be 乡巴佬（xiang1ba5lao3).

There's no concept of folksy wisdom or a noble savage in China. They really hate people that aren't from cities A LOT.

Since red is without a doubt the favorite color in China, maybe the equivalent of USA "rednecks" (or coonasses) could be "bluenecks". Or yellow necks, which is also a favorite color.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
